In search of a playful cuddlebug who will also be your partner in crime for any adventure? Not to worry – trusty Tinker is just the kind of lady for you! Tinker is a happy-go-lucky pup with more than enough enthusiasm to make everyone around her smile and fall in love with her. She absolutely adores meeting people and getting some well-deserved head scritches and pets. Tinker is always up for some belly rubs on the couch, but is just as happy munching on her Nylabone. On slower days at home, she enjoys curling up and napping next to her foster parents while they work.

Tinker loves playing tug of war or chasing her human around in a friendly game of tag. She will often greet you with her toy of choice if she wants to play or get some attention or cuddle time. Tinker’s perfect pile of toys would include lots of rope toys and durable hard chew toys! As she is still young, she can be mouthy and jumpy at times (her foster home is working on this!), and for this reason, we will placing her in a home with older children only.

Tinker always has a pep in her step and a tail wagging in the air on walks, and enjoys greeting other friendly dogs. She tends to get a bit intimidated around super high-energy dogs, but with some warming up she can definitely be the perfect playmate for a fellow canine companion. She loves going to the dog park and running around with new doggy friends there. Tinker currently lives with two cats in her foster home and likes to follow them around occasionally and observe what they do, but she does have a tendency to chase in an effort to play, so a dog savvy-cat that can warm up to her would be best.

Tinker’s love for greeting humans means that she can pull on her leash during walks when she sees new people, and would probably do well with a harness on walks. With no human distractions, this princess walks beautifully on leash. She is a very quick learner and currently knows Sit, Down, Stay, Drop It, and Leave It and her foster family is working on teaching her more! Tinker is a lovable, goofy, snuggly ball of fluff who will fill your life with unconditional love and laughter, and tinker any sad moment into a happy memory!
